Treatments

All Ages

Though we can enhance a smile at any age, there is an optimal time period to begin treatment. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that the initial orthodontic evaluation should occur at the first sign of orthodontic problems or no later than age 7. Beginning treatment at this time ensures the greatest result and the least amount of time and expense.

Braces

Traditional braces, made from stainless steel, are the most common type of braces used to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. They consist of metal brackets and archwires that work together to move your teeth into the desired position gradually. These braces are highly effective and allow for customization with colored elastics, making them a popular choice for patients of all ages.

Self-ligating braces offer a modern alternative to traditional braces. They use a bracket instead of elastic bands to hold the archwire in place. This innovative design reduces friction and allows teeth to move more freely, often resulting in shorter treatment times and fewer appointments. These braces are also known for being more comfortable, as they apply gentler, consistent pressure on the teeth.

Combination treatment in orthodontics involves using more than one type of appliance to achieve optimal results. This approach can include a mix of traditional braces, clear aligners, and other orthodontic devices tailored to address specific dental issues. By combining different treatments, we can effectively and efficiently correct complex alignment problems, ensuring a straighter and healthier smile.

Retainers

Essential for Post-Orthodontic Care

Retainers play a crucial role in maintaining the corrected position of teeth after orthodontic treatment. Whether removable or fixed, these devices help prevent regression when worn as directed by Dr. Silverman. Regular follow-ups ensure that your retainer functions correctly and adjustments can be made for optimal results.
